But as a last to the last resort, if you don't really want to get rid
of things, I'll try this before 'clri':
	1. make sure there's only one directory and/or filename start
	   with D
	2. then 'mv D* goodname'
Didn't try this with D\0a though, this might/might not work, but doesn't
hurt give it a try before earsing everything.  As long as D* expands into
one name, mv will work.
